Looks like you put a lot of effort into covering this event Jessie; Thanks for the article. The Early Aviation Category doesn't seem to have been well represented; I may have to consider a trip next year to fix that! Did like the Canadian "captured" DVII though.......
Cheers,
Lance
Officially Retired as of 20 August 2013 and looking forward to some un-interrupted bench time. Currently starting Roden's Nieuport 28 and hoping to follow that with another WNW Fokker DVII.

There were very few early aviation subjects entered this year. Bishop's Nieuport and Brown's Camel made their almost obligatory appearance, there was one WNW Albatros and a few '30s airliners which just about filled the bill. We do need some early aviation representation (and since the competition is so light, there's a good chance you'd take home a ribbon).
